which abe looks just too sweet for any thing, |
her gallant escort, the male representative in /
society, has not been slow In selecting his /
fashionable spring apparel. Hut hs doesn't |

he will be consulting the summer faahionA
The present season will mark the departure |
from the conventional styles Of the past three
or four yearA during which materials Of the
quieter designs have been worn by many
men. There will be an increase In the mum.
ber Of fancy goods worn. Last season marked
the beginning In this change and nov
tatlors are putting In large stocks Of fancy
goods, plaidA, stripes, etc.
The welldressed short man will wear .
striped morning suit while the tall man will
most becomingly attire himself in plaid.
Both plaids and stripes are we'll marked and
Of good size in the English suitings or woolen
goods from which the morning costume II
made Though they run In . variety Of
colors the predominating shade seems TO bs

There are not 80 many orders for the frock

In spite OF the fact that changes Ia the dress

there Is a big difference between the dress
